Quo Vadis is a reflective podcast about following your calling — and what happens when you step into the unknown.
Drawing on myth, psychology, spirituality, and lived experience, the podcast explores the inner journey behind outer adventures. Each episode moves through themes such as transformation, surrender, purpose, fear, and meaning, inspired by Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.
Hosted by pilgrim, writer, and long-distance hiker Uffe Sveegaard, Quo Vadis weaves personal storytelling with conversations and reflections on what it means to live a life guided not by achievement, but by calling.
While the journey often unfolds through wilderness trails like the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail, Quo Vadis is ultimately about the terrain within and how we return home changed.
This podcast is for listeners who seek depth, meaning, and the courage to walk their own path - even when the way forward is unclear.

In this episode of Quo Vadis, I explore a fundamental question on the journey of following your calling: Why do we give up halfway? Inspired by a young boy one morning in Nuuk fighting on his bicycle uphill I experience a living metaphor for perseverance. As he climbs a steep hill where most people give up, something unexpected unfolds. Along the way, I reflect on stories and perspectives that challenge wha...

Camino del Norte 6 - Santiago de Compostela
Send us Fan Mail In this chapter, we enter the deeper rhythm of the Camino. Emma and I share a quiet day of rest, where a simple pilgrim’s song unfolds into a greater knowing: we came in search of peace, yet along the way, we find love. As we draw closer to Santiago, we begin to meet more pilgrims, and suddenly the day has come when we are to behold the city we have walked toward for so many weeks. The sound of bagpipes tells us we are near, and we move forward, deeply stirred, toward the squ...
